Washington DC


Anyone who's been anywhere and fell in love with a place will know what I mean when I say there's been so many moments I just wanna bottle up and put on a shelf for later so I don't have to miss it. I visited the Lincoln Memorial the other day{something that's always been on my bucket list but wasn't sure why} and sat there on my own for over an hour, camera in bag. I only sat down because the humidity was making me melt so I sat in between the columns and watched for a while. 
I noticed how quickly people arrive, take photos then leave again and wondered how many of them experienced their whole trip through their viewfinder.
You just wanna slap someone and say "Si'doon, calm doon and think about where ye are for a second. Christ almighty."



These two bros are Vietnam war veterans who came in a group all wearing red shirts and called each other "buddy".

I know.


Are these Mitt Romney badges for sale yet?

Pretty pleased with what we accomplished in a day in DC...the entire Mall thank you very much! In the kind of humidity where you look like it's been raining. 
You'll need just over an hour for the Archives to look around the whole thing which you should because it's really interesting even if it's just to watch the photo slides of presidents as children...Obama as a baby, guys!
 If you {like me} love to people-watch then the Lincoln Memorial is the happnin place. Sit back and enjoy! Abe Lincoln's pretty cool company too. I walked the entire Mall from the White House corner all the way round and if you like squirrels then you're gonna die. They've been trained or something.
{see that lady in the buggy, she spent the day photo-bombing my pictures}
